Shhhh.....

...our garden doesn't know its fall yet.

Either that or the tomatoes and the okra are in denial about the season change. Hopefully the pumpkins and the chrysanthemums won't make them any wiser. ;) They'll find out soon enough. 

We have a new addition to our family!

(And no Mom, I'm not pregnant.)

I would like to introduce everyone to Mark! I heart Mark the Second already. I don't even care that this isn't the greatest picture of him, because I think he is beautiful regardless.

Buster is already a little jealous of our newest 'child,' but I think he'll warm up to him eventually. New 'child' or not, he told me he will not give up his bone...to anyone...ever. Looks like someone needs a sharing lesson. :)

Happy Anniversary

As of today, we have been married a year!  Which pretty much means we are experts at this whole "being married thing." (Right?) :)

Hunter surprised me by taking me horseback riding on Saturday, something that I had casually mentioned oh... one or two (or twenty) times in the past year. I'm very subtle. We went to Natchez Trace Stables (definitely recommend them!) and overall we had a wonderful time. We met a real cowboy, rode through a creek and I lost my sunglasses. So the day was complete!

This little lady had a thing for my cowboy. I had to tell her to back off. Very nicely of course.

Ponies!!!!!!!!!! Yes, the 5-year old little girl dream of owning a pony is still alive. (Am I alone in this?)

I also learned that it is quite difficult to take photos while riding a horse. Which may or may not have had something to do with me losing my sunglasses.

And...because we are hardcore vintage-y cowboy type people, one more western-fun photo:
